A New York court has tried to knock DVD ripping software biz Fengtao offline by issuing an injunction against its domain names, social networking accounts and online payment systems.

Judge Vernon Broderick ordered [PDF] that dozens of domain names including DVDFab.com, DVDFab.net, DVDFab.jp, DVDFab.de, Ray-ripper.us, Boooya.org and CopyBiuRay.us be taken off the internet.

He also ordered that the Chinese company's accounts on US-based websites Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and YouTube be shut down or restricted. And he demanded 25 online payment companies including PayPal, Visa, MasterCard and Amazon Payments not provide their services to Fengtao, which sells duplication software called DVDFab.
